"Still hanging around my table. The title is misleading as there is little about the Incas, and, when all is said and done, little about the earlier populations/cultures that preceded it. I have to give it 4 stars for so little of this content is actually mainstream published. I have lived briefly in Peru and two of the first things I noted when there was the lack of bookstores and the lack of books in homes."
"General information about the Inca civilization. details about the geografic conditions, agriculrure tecniches and empier organization. explanation about their cosmology and religion."
"Although I intended this book as a reference, it is so well organized I ended up reading it cover to cover. If you have interest in the Incas and their predecessoras, this is an ideal resource. Adequate photos and diagrams with tons of information and detail one would find difficult to uncover elsewhere. Definately recommend if you have interest in Indians or especially the South American historical Indians. - Alex"
